The City of Indianola wants to remind residents of city ordinances regarding trees that abut or overhang on public property including streets, alleys, and sidewalks. Owners are responsible to make sure the lower branches are not less than eight feet above sidewalks and sixteen feet above streets and alleys, for maintaining all trees to not interfere with the vision of drivers or vehicles approaching intersections, and should be making sure trees are trimmed so they do not obstruct streetlights or traffic signs and signals.

Owners are also responsible to remove all dead or dying trees from private property that is considered dangerous to the public from falling limbs. For more information, view the Indianola Magazine below.
